Together Apart: Queer Indigeneities Symposium
to
Grunt Gallery 116-350 E 2 Ave, Vancouver, British Columbia V5T 4R8
Opening keynote address by Lindsay Nixon, Friday, April 19, 7 – 8 PM, grunt gallery
Together Apart has been envisioned as a way of making and holding space for 2SQ/Indigiqueer folks to come together and to be in dialogue with one another so that we might centre the conversations we’d like to hear or that we feel have been absent in our communities. However, our intentions are also simple: to celebrate and enjoy one another’s creativity and dedication to our practices, and to recognize one another in such a way that speaks across the distances we experience in our living and movement through our worlds. The symposium will be held in a series of both public and 2SQ/Indigiqueer events only, as outlined in our schedule. Please visit grunt.ca for more information.
